When it’s time to fill out your ballot for president this year, you will have to decide whether you have faith in your fellow citizens, or whether you should vote for Al Gore.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush has real plans to change Social Security so that by the time the college students of today retire tomorrow, they’ll have a larger benefit from a program that will actually be viable when it’s time to hang up the saddles.

Or, you can vote for Al Gore because you fear change; he has essentially threatened old people that if his Republican counterpart is elected, it will mark the catastrophic end of all social services in America.
You can vote for Bush’s morally justified across-the-board tax cut, where the largest benefit goes to the poorest of Americans, and the rich will actually pay a higher burden.
Or, you can vote for Al Gore, who is essentially running on a modified “four more years” theme with tax cuts available only for those who obey certain behavioral patterns. It may seem like a good idea to make college tuition tax deductible, but why is it fair to give a tax break only to those who have children in that age group and are already wealthy enough to pay for college anyway?
The common knock on Bush is, of course, a supposed lack of intellect. The liberal elite enjoy scoffing at his poor grammar and Southern drawl. But make no mistake, his ideas are real, and he is no longer giving Gore a free pass on issues such as foreign policy or social programs, where Gore once roamed alone.
Bush has made sure recently that foreign policy is no longer Gore’s lonely playground. After Wednesday’s debate, Bush showed that he has a grasp on history and the delicate balance our nation must achieve when dealing with other nations of the world.

At the same time, Gore showed no real passion for foreign affairs outside of the terrible notion of nation-building.
Bush has also taken on the issue of education, usually allied to the Democratic Party. He has real plans for accountability in failing schools, which are necessary to end the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Finally, why waste your vote on Gore when there’s no way he can win re-election in four years? The man is not personable, and he has no passion for any cause but victory itself.
Vote better education. Vote smaller government. Vote integrity. Vote Bush.
